Abstract
A new and distinct spring bearing variety of strawberry plant, characterized by its firm good appearing fruit, both during the crown and subsequent crops. The variety has the ability to produce from April to October, but the transplants require correct chilling both at the nursery and cold storage if summer and fall crops are produced. The variety is particularly distinguished by its late developing plant and crop during the spring. The fruit is distinguished because of its consistent appearance, flavor, and its good shelf life.
